Home Repipe Services in Windermere & Central Florida
When your pipes start to leak, water turns brown, or pressure drops every time you turn on a faucet, your home is sending a message. Old plumbing doesn’t just cause small headaches—it can turn into costly damage fast. At Pat’s Plumbing, we help homeowners in Windermere and Central Florida replace failing water pipes with durable materials built for Florida homes. Whether you need a full home repipe or just part of your system updated, we’ll walk you through it step by step.
When Patch Jobs Stop Working
If you keep fixing leak after leak, you might be pouring time and money into pipes that won’t hold up much longer. Many homes in Windermere still rely on galvanized steel, old copper, or polybutylene pipes. These materials break down over time and don’t handle Florida’s water and soil well. The result? Rusty water, wet spots in walls, low pressure, and rising repair costs.
We’ve seen it all: ceilings sag from hidden leaks, bathroom tile ruined, wood floors buckling from water damage. Sometimes the better choice is to stop chasing repairs and plan a full or partial repipe that replaces weak plumbing with strong, code-approved materials.
Signs It’s Time for a Full Repipe
Not sure if your pipes have reached the end? Here are clear signs to look for:
- Water smells odd or is rusty or cloudy
- Your home has weak water pressure throughout
- Pipes bang or rattle when you use water
- You see new leaks every few months
- Multiple plumbing problems show up across different rooms
- Your home still has galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes
These issues suggest your system isn’t holding up anymore. A full repipe stops repeat breakdowns and gives you a clean slate that works better for years to come.
What a Home Repipe Really Means
A home repipe doesn’t mean your home gets turned upside down. It’s a planned replacement of your old water supply lines—either across the whole house or in key problem areas. We start by inspecting your current piping and learning what’s not working. Then we create a plan that fits your home’s layout and budget.
Whole-Home Repipe
This is often the best choice if:
- Your pipes are aging in every part of the house
- Leaks happen across different rooms
- You’re planning a remodel or adding to the home
- You want to push plumbing worries off your list for good
- We often run the new pipes through your attic
The benefits speak for themselves: you get better water pressure, cleaner water, and stronger protection against leaks. You’ll spend less time calling a plumber and more time enjoying your home.
Partial Repipe
Sometimes only one area causes trouble. If the rest of your piping still holds up, a partial repipe might be enough. This might cover one bathroom group, a kitchen, or a certain section of your house.
We’ll walk through your options and compare. If a partial fix gives lasting relief, we won’t push a full repipe. You’ll get honest answers and detailed pricing either way.
Materials That Protect Your Investment
We’ve worked in homes across Windermere and Orange County long enough to know what works here. Every material we use meets code, holds up well in Central Florida weather, and works for long-term use.
PEX Piping
PEX works well in most homes:
- Easy to run through tight or finished spaces
- Less risk of leaks behind walls thanks to fewer fittings
- Doesn’t corrode like metal pipes
We often use PEX in retrofits and remodels. It adapts well without needing to rip out large areas of drywall.
Copper Piping
Copper isn’t right for every home, but in some cases, it makes sense. It handles heat well and lasts a long time when installed the right way. For certain layouts or owner requests, it may still be a smart choice.
Out with Problem Pipes
We’ve seen how pipe materials used years ago now fail in Windermere’s conditions. If you still have galvanized steel, polybutylene, or old copper, we recommend replacing them.
We remove or bypass these materials as we go so your new system meets code and inspection standards. You don’t need to guess if it’s good enough. We’ll show you what we’re replacing, why it matters, and how the new system improves it.
A Repipe Process That Respects Your Time and Protects Your Home
At Pat’s Plumbing, we don’t waste your time. We treat every repipe like it’s happening in our own homes—on a clear plan, with good communication, and as little disruption as possible.
Step 1: In-Home Evaluation
We start with a full look at your plumbing system. We check visible pipes, crawl spaces, the attic, and listen to your repair concerns. We’ll let you know what condition your pipes are in and what steps might fix the issue for good.
Step 2: Plan and Quote
You get a written scope with clear pricing and timelines. No vague buckets or guesses. Just a solid plan with a fair quote.
Step 3: Permits and Prep
We handle the permits and set a schedule that works. Our goal is to limit downtime and keep bathrooms and kitchens usable during the project as often as possible.
Step 4: Repipe Work
We move through your home in a clean, clear manner. We protect floors and surfaces. We open walls only where needed and run new piping fast and clean.
Step 5: Testing and Inspection
We don’t leave until we pressure-test every part of the system and confirm that fixtures work just as they should. We schedule and complete required inspections so your repipe passes without hassle.
Step 6: Final Touches
We patch up access holes (where scoped), clean up debris, and walk through the home with you. You’ll know exactly what was done and how to maintain it over time.

Common Repipe Questions
How long does a home repipe take?
Most repipes take a few days, depending on your home’s size. We explain the full timeline before we start so you always know what to expect.
Will I lose water during work?
Yes, but only at set times. We group shutoffs during certain stages and aim to keep key areas like one bathroom usable most of the time.
Do I need to move out?
No. Most owners stay home during repipe work. There will be some noise and tools, but we keep paths clean, stay organized, and respect your space.
Can I do just part of the home?
Yes. We often recommend partial repipes when one area gives trouble. We’ll go over the pros and cons of doing part now or doing it all at once.
How much does a repipe cost?
Cost depends on the number of fixtures, type of material, access, and square footage. You’ll always get a full written quote before work begins.
